I don’t care which way is chosen, just so long as the change ends. It’s stupid, causes accidents, and has absolutely ZERO benefits.

For those who say “Extra hour of daylight.” If you REALLY believe that, then just drag your sorry carcass out of bed an hour earlier so you can leave me, the clocks, and the rest of the freaking world ALONE!!

My workday starts a 0630hrs, and it ends around 2000hrs, (self-employed) so cry me a river about “Go to work in the dark, come home in the dark”.

That is my (and a LOT of business owners’) NORMALITY. We start working before most people drag their sad butts out of bed, and are still working while so many are complaining about how brutal the commute was while sitting down to dinner with the kids.

I hear ya! I was the same way before I retired. I know people here on FR love to hate on government employees, but I worked for a flying squadron at a local military base and I was ALWAYS busy. I would even work from home on my own time just to get a special task done if the situation warranted such effort. My job there was my "ministry" and I tried to never let them down. I talked to a former supervisor just the other day and they all say that whenever problems pop up, that "this would never happen" if I was still working there. Made me proud to call them family.

Bottom line, as you said, this changing of the clocks needs to end, and I'm with you. If someone wants an extra hour of sunlight, drag your body out of bed early and stop inconveniencing the rest of us because of their laziness.
